I used this line of code to turn text into binary and I can't seem to find a way to take the binary from this and turn it back to text. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
' '.join(format(ord(x), 'b') for x in contents)

Works in Python 3.6:
b = ' '.join(format(ord(x), 'b') for x in contents)
''.join([chr(int(bc, 2)) for bc in b.split(' ')])

Not sure what's your problem, works for me:
out = ' '.join(format(ord(x), 'b') for x in "Hello world")
print(out)
1001000 1100101 1101100 1101100 1101111 100000 1110111 1101111 1110010 1101100 1100100
If you are asking for how to revert:
revert = ''.join([chr(int(s, 2)) for s in out.split()])
print(revert)
Hello world

for python 3 this code is working
binstr = '00100110 00010010'
s = []
for i in binstr.split(' '):
s.append(chr(int(i)))
print(''.join(s))
